Electrostatic (Dielectric) Simulation of a Switchgear

Client: International electrical company

Seat of the client: Germany

Period / duration of the contract: 2020

Content of the order:

  • Simulation of the electric field strength distribution for protection against accidental arcing
  • FEM model creation in NX Simcenter including dielectric material properties
  • Model simplifications with regard to dielectric field calculations
  • Use of the thermal-electrostatic analog, i.e. Using the Nastran Solution 153
  • Comparison of variants to optimize the design
